I used strongcoin for a time and when blockchain.info messes up you are left unable to move funds. This happened for about a week and a half before I got a paper backup into Armory. If it isn't going to be a main wallet either would work well. But I like having everything on my end of things.

I use blockchain.info as a small wallet with the addresses I use backed up in Armory and on paper. If blockchain.info goes down, I still have access to those bitcoins, assuming somebody doesn't somehow get access to private keys in blockchain.info. But even if that happens, I don't keep more than $100 worth of bitcoins in blockchain.info wallets.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

The blockchain.info wallet is very similar to last pass in the sense that their servers only store a blob of data, all the encryption/decryption happens in your browser. Also they support two factor authentication which makes it slightly stronger than most desktop clients IMHO.
I have never used strong coin so I can not speak to that.

If you have an android phone BitcoinSpinner is a very secure option. The server side never sees the shadow of your private key, not even in encrypted form. Nothing to brute-force. If the server goes offline the app still allows you to export your private key.

BitcoinSpinner is hands down the fastest app out there. I use it all the time to pay for my beer at Whiskey Dicks. I can literally scan a QR code and send bitcoins, and have them received in less than 5 seconds. Jan did it right. All he needs is a graphics guy for 10-20 BTC to spice up the interface and its a winner.

I have another vote for blockchain.info
You can attach a google authenticator to the online wallet. Freaking sweet.

The code is right here: http://code.google.com/p/bitcoinspinner/ and I encourage anyone with UI skills to make a fork and create something that looks cool.
